That is as it should be.David Brin ...this is a collection of really wonderful stories. None of them were bad, and if a few were a little less elegant or impressive than the others, they are more than balanced by the overall high quality of the selections. I was very happy to see the translators getting such prominent recognition, as all these stories are easily readable and very atmospheric, with none of the awkwardness that sometimes plagues hasty translations.Karen Burnham, Locus ...everything's up for grabs in this cocktail mixer of genres. The mournful and the comic, the abstract and the scientific, the realistic and the caricatured, all can be found in Speculative Japan 3. [...] the Japanese culture's influence on the process of fantasy creation is something made accessible to the international reader in this rich collection.David Labi, Metropolis In a collection that contains stories about lovers who are disembodied and digitized, stories where 'heart of darkness' is not a figure of speech, stories where Tsugaru shamans intersect with cuttingedge science, and a great deal more, there must be something for everyone. That's only speculation, though. You'll enjoy confirming it for yourself.David Cozy, Japan Times Speculative Japan 3 is finally here, and it's everything I hoped it would be: a diverse collection of intelligent and beautifully translated short stories.As both an anthology of contemporary science fiction and an anthology of contemporary Japanese literature, Speculative Japan 3 succeeds brilliantly in collecting not the newest or the most popular, but rather the most interesting and the best written.Kathryn Hemmann, Contemporary Japanese Literature blog
